No idea where to begin with this review! Everything and everyone made my stay here awe-inspiring! Food was beyond delicious, and the wait staff made the whole experience amazing. The views stunning, the room was perfect, the pool and swim up bar such a great amenity. I’d hands down come back to Costa Rica just to stay here again! Best recommendation from a friend. Thank you to everyone who made this an extraordinary trip.

It was settled in right next to the Mistico Hanging Bridges, super cool rainforest location. The breakfast had a wide range of fruit and choices. Ate in the restaurant for two dinners and the food wasn’t cheap but decent value given the quality. The rooms were nice with a balcony that opened up looking at the Arena Volcano with no end to f birds ripping around. Loved our stay
